Project Description

Philip's Music Writer is a program for typesetting
music. It reads text files as input, and generates
PostScript as output. It can also write simple
MIDI files for proofhearing purposes. PMW is
written in C and is freestanding; that is, it does
not require additional processing software. It is
a Linux/Unix port of a program that has run for
over a decade on Acorn systems, where it was known
as Philip's Music Scribe.

Two small new features are added: the ability to move tremolo lines vertically, and interpretation of simple tremolos when generating MIDI. One small source infelicity has been tidied up.

4.23

There are two new command line options, -drawstavelines and -drawbarlines, which cause PMW to output stave and barlines using PostScript drawing commands instead of characters from the Music font. This can be useful in environments where PostScript interpreters do not handle the stave and barline characters well.

A few bugs have been mended and a few new features have been added (staccatissimo accent, bracketing for accents, and "end" barline in the middle of a piece).

4.21

This release has been tested on a 64-bit system and is known to work there. A few changes were necessary to make this happen. There is one new (rather specialized) feature allowing MIDI to be generated for notes that are not printed.
